What is a Reward Link?

A Reward Link is a digital campaign, which rewards your fans for their interaction. You can set tasks which they must complete to access their freebie. As long as you can make it digital, you can reward your fans in any way you decide.

Choose from; digital downloads, unlocking a secret message or being directed to a hidden URL. These are the options you have when creating a Reward Link. Maybe you want your fans to download a bonus track, or perhaps a behind the scenes video of how you created your music.

Alternatively, you might decide to provide them with a discount code to buy your merchandise. Consider what you would like to receive as a fan, and allow yours to experience this. You have complete control over how many tasks they must complete to earn their reward.

You might want them to follow your Instagram, or Spotify account. If this is the case, set this as a compulsory task. But, if you’re a bit more lenient, you could include multiple tasks and say they must pick at least 1 in order to access the reward.

It’s your choice how many tasks they need to complete. Avoid adding too many compulsory tasks, otherwise you might put your fans off. If they don’t have a Spotify account, but you’re saying they have to follow you there, you’ll miss out on some potential interaction.

As a musician you might be wondering how best to utilise this marketing tool. There are many direction you could take. You first need to decide what you want to gain from your campaign, and from here you can then figure out what you want to give to your fans.

If you’re looking to grow your name across socials, you need to ensure you set your tasks accordingly. It might be a good idea to focus one campaign on socials only, rather than also mixing in streaming stores. You could make a second for this option.

However, another huge avenue artists could take would be driving their audience to stream their music. Ask people to listen to your tracks and follow you across your artist profiles. This will stand you more of a chance of being included in stores editorial playlists.
